Hi, i followed the perfect debian setup und run "perl -MCPAN -e shell" in the console. After this i wanted to install: install HTML:arser install DB_File install Net:NS but i always get an error: Code: Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for Net::IP -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Running make for O/OL/OLAF/Net-DNS-0.57.tar.gz Is already unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/Net-DNS-0.57 CPAN.pm: Going to build O/OL/OLAF/Net-DNS-0.57.tar.gz -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible or Code: cpan> install HTML::Parser Running install for module HTML::Parser Running make for G/GA/GAAS/HTML-Parser-3.50.tar.gz Is already unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/HTML-Parser-3.50 Has already been processed within this session Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible I searched the forum and installed this way: Code: apt-get install libhtml-parser-perl libdb-file-lock-perl libnet-dns-perl But what was the problem ? greetings cirox
Hi, thanks, i realized it a few times later, making another experience http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3257 thx cirox
Code: Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible I had the same problem on a redhat 7.2. Resolved with a simple Code: rpm -iv --replacepkgs perl-5.8.3-16.i386.rpm
As a general comment: I had loads of problems mixing CPAN and Ubuntu/Debian packages for Perl modules. Although there are people on the Internet succesfully mixing the two, the general advise is to stick to the modules within a distribution, e.g. Code: apt-get install libhtml-parser-perl libdb-file-lock-perl libnet-dns-perl Often the problem is to find the right package, as the naming sometimes differs and you must try really hard to find the package/module you're looking for. I use CPAN only as a last resort, if a tool needs a specific (new) version of a module. But somehow later on I always end up re-installing a server. My 2ct: Stick to the packaged modules as much as you can.

Which distribution do you use? Instead of installing DB_File manually, you could install the package that comes with your distribution.
